I used the flower image from the stamp set and embossed it with clear embossing powder to create my background paper for the top portion of my card. I addded some sparkle to the flowers using my Spectrum Noir clear sparkle pen.

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. I used a border die from MFT stamps and added a couple of flowers from my stash to finish off my card. Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Get your summer party hats on, this release is all about "chillin' and relaxing"

Violet will be available in the store today along with the other 2 stamps we showed you this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I was inspired by the lollipop in Violet's hand to create what is referred to as a "lollipop card". I used the "Rosettes Zig Zag Edge" file from My Scrap Chick to create my lollipop card. I created this card with my niece in mind. Her birthday was July 5th and she turned 16 this year ;)

I colored my image with my copic markers.

I hope you enjoyed our July release! Thanks so much for stopping by today!!

Vanessa will be available in the store Friday along with the other 2 stamps we show you this week!!

I had some fun with the background on this card and used some stencils to cut out masks for the beach and waves. I used various distress inks for my background and then overlayed a sunburst stencil to finish it off. The sequins are just a mix I have in my stash.

Happy 5th of July!! I hope you had an enjoyable holiday weekend/celebration my USA friends!! I am sharing a Christmas in July project I created for My Scrap Chick. The design team will be showcasing projects centered around Christmas all this week. I am so glad to be working on some Christmas projects this far in advance as I always have such great intentions in the fall/winter to do so many and then the busyness of the season makes it hard to keep up with my goals! Anyone else feel that way?? So for my project I created some gift bags -

well 3 of them to be exact ;)

I had purchased a set of plain, colored gift bags some time ago from a local craft store with the intentions of creating decorated bags. I used a few different files from My Scrap Chick for the images on the front of my bags.

I took the images from the front of the "treat boxes" and enlarged them to fit propotionately on the front of the gift bags. I hope I have inspired you with some holiday projects! Thanks for stopping by today!!

Tony will be available in the store Friday along with the other 2 stamps we show you this week!!

`~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I decided my "Tony" should be a bit tan from hanging outside on his tree branch ;) so I chose to work with some darker skin tones. Since he's been hanging out in the sun I decided to give him some bleached hair too!! I created my sky background with an older cloud stencil I have and some distress inks.
